Beauty's Only Skin Deep
Aswad Lyrics

So in love, sad as could be
Despite being deeply in love, I am unhappy because I fell for a pretty face

'Cause a pretty face got the best of me.
I was initially blinded by the physical attractiveness of my partner

Suddenly you came into my life
You entered my life unexpectedly and brought it a new meaning

And gave it meaning and pure delight.
You gave me a sense of purpose and brought me immense happiness

Now, good looks I've learned to do without
I have come to realize that looks are not everything and learned to appreciate other qualities

'Cause now I know it's love that really counts
I understand that real love is more important than superficial beauty

I know beauty's only skin deep.
I recognize that beauty is a superficial quality and not a true measure of a person's worth

Now, you speak your words warm and sincere
Your words are genuine and heartfelt, conveying your true feelings

And let me know that your love is here.
You reassure me that your love is present and real

A pretty face you many not possess
You may not have a conventionally attractive appearance

But what I like about you is your tenderness.
I appreciate your kindness and gentle nature more than your physical appearance

A pretty face may be some guys taste
Some people may prefer partners solely based on their looks

But I'll take lovin' in its place,
I value true love and affection more than physical attractiveness

Now, friends ask what do I see in you.
My friends question my choice of partner due to your lack of conventionally attractive features

But it goes deeper than the eye can view.
However, my reasons for loving you are beyond just your appearance

You have a pleasing personality
Your character is likeable and attractive to me

And that's an ever lovin' rare quality.
Your personality is a rare and valuable trait in a partner

Now, show me a girl, a girl that's fine
If given the choice between conventionally attractive women

And I'll choose the one with true lovin' ev'ry time,
I would always choose the one who can provide genuine love

So if you're lookin' for a lover
If you are searching for a romantic partner

(Oh, yeah) don't judge a book by its cover.
Do not judge someone solely by their appearance

(Oh yeah) She may be fine on the outside
Someone may be physically attractive

(Oh yeah) but so untrue on the inside.
However, their true character may not be as desirable
